Congratulations on a great bargain. If it has been in a box, I doubt if it is even dusty. I check Kijiji (Canadian version of Craig's List) fairly regularly as you never know. I was able to pick up a Husqvarna #1+ embroidery machine with many extra cards and all the extras (most still in the original sealed boxes) for $200. My friend said she had paid $3600 for the same machine twelve years ago without all of the extras. I'm having fun playing and I'm sure you will too.
